New refrigerator 新冰箱


Several weeks ago we noticed that our milk became creamy, we thought we just had bad luck getting a bad one. We went bought 2 more jars of milk and same situation happened. We bought a thermometer and tested the refrigerator, it was 50 degrees, so we've been having a warm refrigerator for a while, lucky nobody got sick. Sean cleaned the pipe and found out we had a leak (it's been leaking for a while and we didn't notice), maybe that's the problem. He shut the pipe off and later that night we discovered our basement was flooded. Water still came out from the vault, we had kids hurry grabbing all the towels we had in the house and tried to move stuff around and dry the floor. It was a very exciting night. The refrigerator was still warm after shutting off the vault. The refrigerator came with the house and we don't know how old it is, so time to shop for a new one.

We went to Best Buy, Sears and Home Depot to look around the next day, we were pretty tired out at the end. We went back to Best Buy and bought one that we think would fit under our cabinet. It's LG double sided stainless with freezer on the bottom. The store won't deliver until 4 days later, we had to buy a big bag of ice and stuff it in the refrigerator until new one arrives.

The new one looks pretyt sharp, don't you think? It's time to save $ and pay off the bill.

這幾天發現我們冰箱的牛奶壞掉了, 想說可能是運氣不好, 那再買2罐牛奶好了.吔, 還是一樣壞了! 是我們的冰箱有問題嗎? 把溫度調到最低並買了一個冰箱溫度計來看我們的溫度. 一量發現我們的冰箱太溫了, 難怪牛奶會壞掉. 肖恩當晚去地下室把水管(要做冰塊的那條水管) 關掉希望這樣溫度會較低 (他發現我們的冰箱已經漏水一陣子了, 因為水管下面的木頭都發霉了. 可見得我們的冰箱已經有一陣子已經很暖和了. 還好沒有食物中毒.) 結果當我們從中文學校回家時才發現我們的地下室淹水了 (雖然把開關關了, 可是還是繼續在漏水). 哇, 這可不是開玩笑, 叫小朋友們趕快把家裡能用的毛巾全部拿下來吸水. 我們2個就趴在地上到處吸水. 還好水是集中在一部份, 所以損失還不是很大. 我想這樣子也算是順便整理我們地下室吧.

隔天我們跑了3家店看了好多冰箱, 難題是我們的櫃子有一定的高度, 冰箱不能買太高的. 最後終於買了一台冰凍室在下面的不繡鋼. 因為白色和黑色的沒有現貨,所以店員給了我們200元的折扣, 可是要等到4天後冰箱才會到.我們就只好先買一大袋的冰塊塞在冰箱裡暫時緩衝囉. 傳統的冰凍室是在上面,每次要開冷藏室時都要彎腰找東西. 看的這台冰箱冷藏室剛好就在視線範圍內,不用彎腰.又可以兩邊開門.

我們很想買門前旁有冰塊和水的冰箱, 可是一看調查報告發現這種冰箱最容易壞了.想了想, 還是買傳統的冰箱好了比較保險.

新冰箱耶
看起來好像滿不錯的

可是如果是我
我也想買那種有製冰跟水的冰箱

妳確定這份調查報告是有根據的嗎?

對呀, 是消費者調查報告. 可是買東西也要看運氣啦, 我們買了消費者報告建議的微波爐, 結果不到2年就壞了.不過幸好那時是用信用卡付的, 有多一年的保固期限, 所以不用付維修費.
